im a some awful combination of a business analyst/project manager/system integrator at an investment bank

get into the office somewhere around 8:30-9 ny time

read 5 billion emails from people in london and asia

at this point someone in london has probably seen my skype status go green and i will get 50 calls about tests they want me to run

barely pay attention to a series of 3 unnecessarily long conference calls with the business, while simultaneously trying to run tests for london people who are breathing down my neck so they can go home

tests fail because i'm managing the project that all of the inexperienced and/or bad devs were assigned to

tell them what needs to be fixed

spend 2 hours writing a script that would take an actual coder (i'm a finance major) 12 minutes

its 4pm-5pm, london is gone. absolutely nothing to do. stare at screen and ponder what the point of living is.

post 5pm - gets busy again since tech ppl gotta make changes when the markets are closed.

normal day im out at 6:15, when im doing turnovers i've been stuck around until 9.
